Seed Saving Talks at Whole Foods

Rejoin the Ritual: Seed Saving

Join NS/S in June at Whole Foods Market locations in Tucson and Phoenix for these FREE informative talks on the ancient ritual of seed saving. At the beginning of the last century, everyone saved their own seeds. What turn of events led us to believe we can't and shouldn't save seeds from our own gardens? Native Seeds/SEARCH shares the fascinating journey of how we got here and what we can do to rejoin the ritual.
